Anyone using a portable butane stove?

The table top butane stoves that use disposable cans of butane have been banned in Australia for safety reasons: Apparently, they can overheat and explode. I have one of these in storage that we last used while our kitchen was being remodeled. Think I'll hold on to mine for emergencies, but won't be cooking anything that takes a long time on high heat.
